Bookings

Booking forms, available from the school office or after school club staff, need to be placed in an envelope with the child’s name, class, days and times you require with the correct money. Cheques need to be made payable to Worcestershire County Council, alternatively you can pay by Payment4schools online but still need to complete a booking form. We will not be able to process a booking unless we receive a completed booking form and payment is made before the child attends the club. If you make use of our Payment4Schools system the booking form must include the payment reference number or the booking will not be processed.

The staff process all booking forms on Thursday afternoon, ready for the following week. Booking forms received by this day will receive priority and any forms received after 1.00pm on a Thursday will be allocated on a first come first served basis. However, please note we are having to decline many late bookings due to space available and bookings received after 1pm on Thursday will be charged at the increased rate due to additional admin.

Payment must be made by 1.00pm on the Thursday of the week before the childcare is required not when your child is being collected. If payments are not made by this date, we will not be able to offer your child a place. On the day ‘late’ bookings, when available, must be paid for when the child is collected that evening.

Credit will only be given if your child is absent due to sickness or a 48-hour cancellation notice. If you decide to not send your child to after school care with less than 48 hours notice, we will not be able to give credit.

If you are also eligible for 30 hours funded childcare, you may be able to use this at one of our care clubs. Please speak to the headteacher for further information.

Children will be registered at the start of the session.

If you will not be collecting your child at the end of the session, you will be required to complete details of another nominated person on the registration form. For security reasons, children will only be permitted to leave with yourself and the nominated person and not by anyone under the age of 18 years old. As an additional security measure we ask parents to name a ‘password’ (any word chosen by parents/guardians) which the person/people collecting will have to give to a member of staff.

If for any reason you may be late, please notify us as soon as possible.

If you are late collecting your child/children (after 5.45pm) there will be a one off additional charge of £10.00, this is to cover staff costs. If your child remains uncollected after 6.30pm, 45 minutes after the club closes, and you have not warned us that you will be delayed/we have been unable to reach you or any of your emergency contacts, we will follow school policy and contact Children’s Services or the police.
